Lotos (Nelumbo nucifera) je vodena zeljasta biljka koja raste u vodama toplih oblasti Azije, Afrike i severoistočne Australije. Ima debeo, okrugao list na dugoj peteljci i ružičaste cvetove. Plod je čahura.

Plod je čahura. Rizom i semena sadrže skrob i upotrebljavaju se u ishrani. U mitologiji, lotos je biljka čijim su se plodovima hranili Lotofazi, narod stare Afrike. Ko bi okusio njene plodove — zauvek bi ostao u zemlji Lotofaga.
Out of the two seeds, one germinated and the other one was dead and floating. The one that did germinate, did so quickly and is very happy. I germinated it in a bowl, and after it got a bit long I planted it in my aquarium where a second stem has sprouted and the leaves have already reached the top. Looking forward to see what color it is and might need to purchase more if I get space to put them.
